Special Event: PurpleFoodie Baking Class!
I’m so excited to announce the first official Purple Foodie Baking Class at The Bombay Hub. First there was the bake sale, then the merchandise, and now, this baking class! Fun times. After all those requests to conduct classes, I’ve had to cave (and happily so!). Later this month, I will be moving into The […]
Fig and Walnut Cheese Spread with Honey
A fig and walnut cheese spread recipe made to replicate the creamy Boursin spreads in France.
Cinnamon Sugar Pull-Apart Bread
Cinnamon, sugar and butter between slices of dough and baked to a warm hue. How can you resist? It looks all fancy schmancy, but it’s really simply to make. It’s the basic plain white bread dough. You just do a little bit of rolling, spreading and slicing. Shove it into a loaf pan, and then […]
Banana Manna
Toasted coconut, cinnamon, bananas and chocolate - slightly warm, with pieces of melted dark chocolate playing hide and seek.
Tomato and Rosemary Focaccia
I was jubilant when I spotted tiny yellow tomatoes at the market a few days ago. Given their size, I could either toss them into a salad or top them on a focaccia. No prizes for guessing what I opted for. These tiny tomatoes pushed into the focaccia dough come alive with the sprinkling of […]
Chocolate Chip Cookies
This chocolate chip cookie recipe is the famous Nestle Toll House cookie recipe that came with a strong endorsement from a friend.
Apple Pie Pockets
Each morning I take the train to the other end of town to study French. With a copy of Best Food Writing 2010, some roasted nuts and orangefoodie for company, it’s a fun ride. There are some days when breakfast on the train is an event we look forward to with homemade Snickers or rich chocolate […]
Pantry Basics
Pursuing a passion for baking in India in quite a challenge, where one probably spends more time out on the road finding the right equipment and ingredients than in the kitchen creaming butter and sugar. But for me, it’s this challenge that makes baking that much more fun. If everyone were baking the fleur de sel […]
Gianduja Roulade
That’s just fancy talk for rich hazelnut chocolate ganache rolled into a hazelnut sheet cake rich with chocolate and more hazelnuts.
Giveaway Time
Everybody loves giveaways. And I noticed just how much you do when you went on to write a few verses to tell me why you’d love the Cupcake Tote. I love seeing you get excited. So I thought I’d send something bigger your way. Exactly 9 times as big. So comment away to participate. All […]
Purple Foodie Merchandise
When I first discovered my love for creating illustrations (which was when I designed this site), I knew that at some point I’d like to see my art on products. Fast forward to March 2011 – I created my store, put up my product listing, and am now ready to sell my first illustration: A […]
Brownie Cookies
A cross between a cookie and brownie, that highlights the best of both worlds. Soft and rich like a brownie. Crumbly like a cookie. Genius.
